The sleeper in the bus, the skill there's luck a keeper or cut, open file like case shut.

A shortstop, or stop short, press play or press or support, intelligence for sports.

Good of y'all to listen, aiming at what truth is.

Mike, give me no pigeon like the name is Michael Lewis, others in the... Hello out there's and

Hello out there in Fantasyland and welcome to the Sleeper and the Bust,

I'm Mike Potthorser, and I'm joined today by Rortograph's editor

Enosaris, and today we'll be discussing a pair of DL returnees and an offensive

monster residing in Los Angeles and we'll start off as usual with the most interesting player

alive today and he's actually the most search for player in the number three

position and that's Justin Verlander who we've spoken about before once and

we talked about all of his underlying metrics looked great and he was going to turn it

around quickly and yet he hasn't I mean his e-ray is up to 390 the last time he's

he had an e-ray at least that high was back in 2008 so you know what's going on

here and how much do you think the decrease in velocity is playing a role in his disappointing season?

You know, we talked about, you know, that there's a range perhaps, at least between 90 and 94 that I don't

think it's a huge deal if you sort of dropped within that.

And he dropped from 93 something to 92 something.

It's about a mile per hour.

You know, with his swinging strike rates the way they are.

I just want to blame his batting average on balls and play. I just I don't I don't see like a breakdown in skills.

Strikeout rates the best of his career. You know, I don't I don't think it's a big deal

He's a he's a guy that I think along with call hamels is I think the ultimate buy at a discount elite starting pitcher.
